People won't NEED emergency abortions if they just stop having emergencies.
Happy New Year to all Serial Feminist Buzzkillers!
First podcast of the year and there’s already a SUPER SPECIAL GUEST HOST!
Abortion Access Front Head Writer Alyssa “Dooks” Al-Dookhi is holding down the fort with Moji this week while Lizz is away, and they're doing a deep dive on Idaho and Texas.
This month, in these two states, TWO COURTS, one regular and one SUPREME have just ruled that it’s totally fine for them to force doctors to let people who need emergency abortions die in the ER.
In Texas, the Fifth Circuit cleared the path for Texas to handcuff ER doctors, and in Idaho, SCOTUS aka the Big Court Kahuna just literally ruled it’s cool if Idaho ignores your medical emergency while we all wait TIL APRIL for them to rule on whether or not letting people die is in the constitution.
I mean, first, they gotta rule if a sitting president is constitutionally covered to murder his foes, so April is the earliest they can get to it. Amirite?
And we have THE PERFECT GUESTS to talk about this devastating blow.
Lauren Miller, one of the TWENTY-TWO (22) women suing the state of Texas for being denied life-saving abortion care joins Moji and Dooks to share her personal story. Despite Texas having “abortion exceptions” Lauren almost died because the law didn’t see her situation as worthy of an exception.
PLUS: Medical Students For Choice Executive Director Pamela Merritt!
Pamela gives us the doctors’ perspective on how terrifying it is to practice medicine under these conditions, and lays out the results of what the mass exodus of doctors and med students fleeing states with these bans means for patients.
And as always we bring some humor to take us out of the darkness.
The hilarious comedian Emma Willmann from the "Ask Men Anything" podcast, is here to talk life on the road, the wonders of Adderall and to answer that age-old question: Is it ever worth it to ask men anything?
We are welcoming in 2024, warts and all so TUNE IN WITH YOUR EARS! WE LOVE YOU!
